Draven stepped out of the council hall while carrying Ember in his arms, his long, steady strides causing his servant to jog behind him to keep up with his speed. _{freewebnøvel.com}

After barely catching up to his master, Erlos realized that the King had missed the turn in the hallway that led towards the guest rooms. He thought Draven must be busy thinking about what he had done and didn’t realize it.

“Sire? The guest rooms are that way,” Erlos said immediately. “I should bring her to her room myself. There is no need for you to—”

The human was unconscious and she needed to be kept somewhere, but it seemed improper for the King himself to keep carrying her in his arms.

As if Draven didn’t hear him, he continued to walk ahead without pause. It did not take long for Erlos to realize they were headed to the King’s chamber.

‘Sire is taking that human to his chamber?!’

Erlos nearly missed a step, but luckily he didn’t fall flat on his face.

‘Is he in his right state of mind? Last time, didn’t he ask me to throw her out of his bed…hmm? But…why is he—wait, is it because he marked her? Does that mean he is acknowledging her as his mate already?’

The realization shocked him and he raised his head to look up.

‘All my ancestors, if you hear me, tell me I am not losing my mind. Did I not fall asleep and have the most nonsensical dream?’

The door to the King’s chamber opened on its own and Draven walked inside with sure steps. As if it was his plan from the very start, he put Ember on his bed and covered her with the blanket. His action was surprisingly tender, but there was no one else in the room to witness it.

Draven sat at the edge of the bed and observed that unconscious human’s face.

With his glove-covered fingers, he moved her face to one side. He observed the mark he had left on the right side of her neck. Two red puncture wounds could be seen on her skin. He removed his glove from his right hand and caressed that mark gently.

Seconds later, Erlos entered the chamber, expecting to hear an order or snide remarks from the King, but what he saw shocked him.

‘He’s touching her?!’
